No.  Nope.  Nada. Nein. Nyet.  Never.  Noway.  Not going to happen.

No tanks.  Reserves haven't had tanks for years.  Reg Force are without tanks, with only a few exceptions out West, but they are soon to be gone too.

I don't know...I'm on the fence on this one... ;D

As George Wallace said in your other thread, the reserves do not have tanks anymore. They are likewise very rare even in the regular force. Therefore, your chances of driving/shooting a tank are very slim... unfortunately.

With regards to infantry and the physical training, i.e. running, if you are in decent shape before training starts, you should be fine. Start running and getting into shape as soon as possible, if you need to...

I think we should end this before we degenerate into some silliness

I think this guy is just a little ill-informed, I think he has an intrest in the armoured corps but if he wants to be a reservist lets give the info he needs about armd recce. Because in all reality he will never see a Leopard  but he may get his hands on a Coyote or a LAV III or maybe even a TLAV.

How about someone steering this guy into one of the ARMD REGT in his local area. Some guys are missing the point and ridiculing him.


BUDDY GO TO YOUR RECRUITER AND TELL HIMM YOU WANT TO GO 011 CREWMAN!!!!!
